Found ammo at Wally world tonite!

Wally World north of Seattle Easter sunday (14:00 local).
As I walked up to the sporting goods counter the young woman at it was explaining to a phone in, the ammunition availability. She said to the caller "We had 16 boxes (W W/B 100 round val-packs) delivered Sat P.M. 12 of the 16 were sold before being pulled off the skid the pallet mule was moving, 3 more at noon sunday and the only one left from the shipment, 20 minutes before your call". As she hung up I thanked her for giving all the information I'd needed. It's been a couple of weeks since I've tried W/W for 9MM. I got sick of seeing empty slots after a long walk on a bad leg. This afternoon though even the shotgun light and medium field loads were decimated? No rimfire. Very little center fire rifle. This counter in the past always had scatter gun loads up the wazoo. As well as lot's of commercial big 3 rifle stuff. No more!
 
Was in the Espanola, New Mexico Wal-Mart superstore on Saturday morning. They were unpacking 3 cases of 9mm and 2 of .45 (one was already almost empty). I didn't buy anything as they still didn't have any bulk .22's and I seldom shoot anything but handloads in centerfire. They still had plenty of shotgun shells but not as many as last week.

I did finally manage to order 8k of Federal .22's from Cabela's that were in stock but I think I may have got some of the last they had.
 
The mix of cultures (Anglo, Native American and Spanish/Mexican in about equal parts) makes things interesting, to say the least. It also leads to some unusual melding of languages such as: "Bueno hey" (Very good - Spanish and Navaho), "Bueno bye" (Good-by - Spanish and English).

I used to get dispatched to the dam at Abique Lake about once a week as the motion detector alarm in one of the buildings would go off every time the wind shifted.
